the REASON Why

boring
So Hard to Elect e. NJ. DeBruin
Probate Judge.

There Il now pending In the Highland
G mmon Pleas Court, q suit brought by
P. H. Edwards, to recover judgment on
two notes OF sic hundred dollars each
with interest, against E. NJ. DeBruin,
with Uric sloane and r. T. Hough -
securities. sloane and Hough will have
the notes to pay. OF course Capt. E NJ.
DrBruin don't want his friends who
helped him in the hour Of need to sui.
ier st his hands, and he futht rmore
wishes to pay the debts thus due from
him to Messrs. Sloane and Hough. How
does the Captain hope to accomplish
this? Why the matter is as easy al
rolling of a log-provided he is elected
Probate Judge. He says to Sloane and
Hough "you get me the nomination for
Probate Judge and elect me and your
81 200 will be forthcoming out of the re-
ceipts of the Office" That is new way
to collect old debts. This little scheme
was concocted when consent was given
to take Sloane back among the manager
Of the party in this county. DeBruin
had his part to play in getting the nom.
ination of his party. He was to say
early and often to his fellow Democrats,
n the language Of distinguished New
Yorker, when the Democratic Presi.
.lential nomination was apparently forced
upon him in 1858, Gentlemen, your
,.andidate can not be-" Admirable
.kill was shown by the Captain in his
part of the preliminary campaign.
Sloane and lIough don't deserve very
nuch praise for the way in which the,
played the Democrats Of Highland
county for suckers. They were, how
.ver, very sly-quite cute in fact, and i
he delegates OF the late Democratic
County Convention get their eyes open
about the matter they will be hunting
all over the county for some one to TAX
them back OF the barn and give them q
kicking. The suit already mentioned
could not be STAYED off as it had to b.
brought about the time it was to obtain
Judgment at the first session Of the Com.
non Pleas Court next to be holden. We
most confidently believe, however, this
new method of collecting old debts, in.
sugurated by Sloane and Hough, will Ike
-et down upon by the people of High
and county. They feel unwilling to
honor further a man by electinR him
Probate Judge, after his ten years en-
inyment OF the Auditors Office, realizing
therefrom nearly 4s0,O0O. How many
men in the county have enjoyed. in the
past ten years, an income of from FOUR
70 FIVE THOUSAND dollars per year
have refused to support
in their own party. S.,
70, there are many Democrats through
'ut the county who will not vote for
OeBruin for Probate Judge, believing
hat his ten years in the Auditors Office
snd the five or ak years In the Prose.
cutting Attorneys Office preceding his
lection as Auditor are sufficient for any
me Democrat to enjoy at the public
rib.

gether. though at present the greatest pop
ular demand Is for his novels, and the trans
latlons OF the fascinating stories OF the elder
DUMAs, for Instance are not mentioned. But
the proportionate demand for tho novels
OF Mr. HowELLs. the high priest OF
the new school OF fiction, would
probably DO the same II the list
were thus extended and the Union as
a whole taken In. Yet from the notice at
tracted to them because Of their literary
merits It might be supposed that Mr.. How
Ellis and Mr.. JAMES were tho popular novel;
ists Of the period. As matter OF fact, the
demand for that new and bloodless school OF
fiction 10 small In proportion to that for the
purely sentimental story and the romance
OF improbable adventure. DICKENS, OF whom
Mr.. HowELLs has rather poor opinion, IL
only exceeded In popularity by the Rev. Mr..
Roe, who depicts the domestic virtues and
the old fashioned love under difficulties.
From present appearances. therefore, we
are forced to conclude that the new school
Of scientific fiction 10 not destined soon to
supersede the old school OF the imaginative,
the sentimental. the passionate. tho marvel
lous, and tho impossible.

An Unjust Reproach.

Until we read this statement we supposed
the Civil Service Reform law was planned
and perfected by its supporters for the pur-
pose Of giving the public better servants In
Office than could otherwise be obtained We
do not think It will prove etficacious f.r the
desired end. and for that reason we have
criticised and condemned m my OF its faa-
lures; but IL never occurred u Us until now
that the Civil Service Reform law was meant
TO act as a sOrt OF bLrbed wire fence to pro-
tect ofi,ors against the politicians OF their
noighborhood.

Let the Past Go,

The idlest chatter Of the day Is unques-
tionably the discussion bv the Mugwump
Journals Of the President's course In allow
conventions. The recent Convention at Al
lentOwn has revived such talk with increased
freedom Of criticism.
When Mr.. CLEVELAND issued the order
against this practice he had not been In the
Executive chair for six months. 1t was In
the extreme heat OF summer and yet the
verdure Of the most luxuriant spring fell far
short Of representing his relation to Ameri-
can politics. But by the side Of such great
disadvantage he possessed sufficient per-
ception to know bad thing whom he saw It..
The order was soon recognizs1 as an inter-
ference with simple political rights which
was indefensible In the light Of Democracy.
and though 1t was not withdrawn, 1t never
became operative. TWAS born to innocuous
desuetude.
The fact Is that since Its birth the Admin
istration has advanced In political compre-
hension. The pernicious activity order has
gone by. It Is thing OF the past. The
Erening Post speaks Of Mr.. CLEVELAND as
"winking" at its violation. while the truth
IL that he has turned his back on 1t entirely.

A Southern Attack on Sir Walter Scott

It Is not often that our esteemed contein-
porary. the Atlanta Constitution, falls into 80
wide and deep a blunder as somebody has
led 1t into in regard to the novelist and poet
whose works are or hitherto have been even
more priced and popular In the South than
In the North. In an editorial article which
aims to show that the works Of literary men
are not reflections OF their real feelings and
character, occur these vituline assertions:
WAITE. scorr disowned his brother because drank
and poor He would 60 10 his funeral Yet
Sir WALES killed himself drinking after he had made
his crsjitors lose million doars Did scorr expose his
heart In his wrtngs' No, bit Of Il Everything that
came from his pen was noble. chvarouA and tender"
Every one Of these assertions except one
is preposterOusly wrong. 1t ID true that Sir
WALTER would not 20 to the funeral OF the
black sheep OF his family. DANIEL SCOTT. but
his refusal had nothing to do with his broth
ers dissipation and failures. DANIEL SCOTT,
aft,r a shady career at home, was sent to
the West Indies In the hope Of reforming
him. There IN some expedition against re-
bcllious negroes no forever disgraced himself
by his cowartlice. With his old-fashioned
notions about honor and courage. it was I'm.
possible for SIR WALTER to forgive his BROTH
him to doso but the fault WAS at least one that
the South the old South. will not be likely to
regard with too much severity. In any
event. DANIEL SoOrr's dissolute conduct or
poverty had nothing to do with his brothers
aversion TO him.
The assertion that Soorr died OF drinking
b. as correct as it would DO to say that JU-
LIus CESAR was killed by the premature
discharge Of a KRUPP gun. ScoTr died OF
apoplexy. which had been preceded a consid-
able time before his death with paralytic
shocks, from the effects OF which his brain
never fully recovered Scorr. when u roll
licking boy. whom his highly respectable
father grumb!ed at as "naa better than O
gangrel scrape-gut," used to rove about Lid

than was necessary. 1t was a nation and q
time OF hard drinkers, the Scotland OF that
day. 1t WIS point Of honor for gentlemen
to drink themselves under the dinner
table. and Ministers OF the Gospel were
capable OF sitting up all night with the
whIekay. II 10 the testimony OF the COM
